Summary
"Since 1993, a grievous shadow has been cast over the Mexican border-city of Juárez. A tragic symbol of misogynist violence, Ciudad Juárez has been the scene of hundreds of femicidios--the abduction and brutal muders of female victims aged between 12 and 22. Many of these victims are found tortured, sexually abused, or disfigured--senseless atrocities that have caught international attention. Whilst official figures estimate the murder count to be around 400, some sources suggest the true number may be more than double that. As of publication, many of these cases remain unsolved. The following story imagines life among this harrowing but very real situation."--Page [2] of cover
